I am a software engineer located in Budapest, Hungary with over a decade of experience in the field. My expertise includes working on databases, backend, and frontend development, with a focus on writing business logic on the backend. I have experience in designing and developing projects from the beginning phase too.
With over 8 years of hands-on experience in Python development, I specialize in building robust backend systems using Flask and Django, crafting APIs, and developing cross-platform desktop applications with PySide6. My expertise extends to frontend development with React and cloud engineering using AWS to deliver scalable and reliable solutions giving me a well-rounded perspective on the full development stack. I’m always up for a challenge, which is why I’ve started working with Rust on a side project to build a compiler that could serve as a drop-in replacement for Python—just for fun. I enjoy leading teams, fostering collaboration, and solving problems together to bring projects to life.
